Japan's Terra B1 interceptor drone, developed with insights from Ukraine's drone conflicts, was the only system to pass fast-track military trials and is moving to mass production to counter low-cost drone attacks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your drone defence startup should reposition immediately; the rapid Japanese approval signals mass production demand and low-cost interceptor drones are a new baseline in air defence. Failure to adapt means losing what will be the default airspace protection standard.
